From the time she was a child, Carla McElroy loved design.\u00a0 She was constantly rearranging her mother\u2019s furniture and accessories to get that \u201cjust right\u201d look.\u00a0 One day, she skipped school to paint a room in the house.\u00a0Carla followed her dreams and, a few years later, landed her first job as a commercial interior designer in Texas.\u00a0 Her passion continued to grow and, as she gained more experience, Carla opened her own interior design business in her Dallas, Texas, home.<\/p>\n

After years of doing residential design in Dallas, her husband\u2019s job transferred the family to Florida.\u00a0 Again, Carla was able to still have the business in her home and learned a whole different style of design \u2013 Coastal.<\/p>\n

A few years later, her husband was transferred to Colorado for another position.\u00a0 For a short time, Carla worked for a local design firm.\u00a0 After being told her \u201cDallas style\u201d would never sell here, she decided to go out on her own again.\u00a0 She believed Colorado would embrace this style, and she was right!<\/p>\n

As the in-home business kept growing, it required more and more employees to keep up with the demands of what had become a million dollar business. At her husband\u2019s urging, Carla soon opened a storefront in Highland Ranch showcasing her services.\u00a0The storefront allowed Carla to show the quality of furniture and accessories that she sold.\u00a0 The added square footage also allowed her to hire more designers to support her growing firm!<\/p>\n

After years of growth, the business outgrew the Highlands Ranch location, and it was time to start looking for something bigger.\u00a0 The search led them to Southglenn.\u00a0 The old mall had been demolished, and a larger outdoor mall was under construction. In February 2010, Carla opened her doors at The Streets at Southglenn with a new name CARLA\u2019S: A CLASSIC DESIGN.<\/p>\n

The company continues to grow and has served customers in homes all over the country and in Canada.\u00a0 Clients include restaurants, dentists, doctors and other businesses around Colorado. Carla still loves what she does, and you can still see the passion she brings to every design<\/p>\n
